For three days
before the opening everyone worked together to organize the placings
and set everything up. Unfortunately everyone wasn’t able to make
it, but we found enough space and volunteers for all the works to be
put up. It was such an
experience to fill the empty white rooms with our art pieces and see
the atmosphere progress.

Everyone was full of
anticipation on the opening night. It was so exciting to see the
gallery gradually fill up and realize what a success our event had
become. Here is a video so you get a glimpse of the evening:

Our exhibition stayed there for the rest of the week and we took
turns being hosts….until Monday came and it was time to empty the
place. Mikael Seidler took a time lapse of the de-installing of the
works in each room. Here is a video from one of them:

This project with
Intac was all about challenges, bonding, inspirations and
establishing ourselves as artists. I am looking forward to continuing
with this course and seeing all the creations that will come out of
it!

Both of these study programmes are taught in English, and we have students from five continents, so the studying atmosphere is very international.

What do these AMAZING study programmes cost? Nothing, at least if you're a citizen of the EU. Finland is a nice, quiet country, and the level of education is considered to be one of the best in the world. The TAMK Mediapolis campus is by a lakeside, some 15 minutes by bus from the city center of Tampere. Tampere itself is a vibrant student city, 160 km from the Finland's capital Helsinki, with a lot to do for young people. And almost everybody knows how to speak English.

(Notice how the Finnish weather wasn't mentioned at all... You can look it up if you really want to know and don't know about it already. It can be very nice here in the summer, lots of daylight. Often we don't even get snow during summer.)

Applying to TAMK's English Bachelor's degree programmes is possible
only once in a year.
The application periodis 8 - 27 January 2016.
The electronic application form is available during the application period at www.studyinfo.fi.

Sixteen second-year Interactive Media students participated in the European Youth Award festival in Graz, Austria, 18.-21. November. The students worked in international student teams to evaluate the winning projects and to design posters and handouts for the project exhibition. The winning project of this year was "Aprendices Visuales - Visual Learning for children with autism" from Spain.
